Chapter 4: Telling The Truth
When the words came out, Naruto was dumbfounded. He never expected that the voice in his mind would say such an unbelievable thing.
'Are you kidding? A Hokage, whom I have admired for a long time, and my father is one of them? How can this be?'
"What happened? Still don't believe me?"
The voice in his mind still insisted that he was the son of Namikaze Minato. Naruto couldn't help but hesitate, but he didn't question again. Instead, he was nervous and waited for Li Yaoxiang to continue talking.
"If you still don't believe me... Then relax your mind, don't resist. I'll take you to a place."
...
The scene changed. Uzumaki Naruto came into a dark space. The entire space was flooded with dark water.
The water was as deep as Naruto's knee. This place put made Naruto feel at a loss: "Where is this? Why did you bring me here? Why am I here?"
"Aren't you curious, the reason everyone calls you Demon Fox? You don't believe that the Fourth-Hokage is your father, right? Then go forward. Go straight ahead, and you'll find the answer you want to know." Li Yaoxiang's voice, like a devil, kept circling in Naruto's mind.
Feeling the cold black water, Naruto knew that he was not dreaming. He really was in a 'mysterious' place.
At the same time, Naruto believed that Li Yaoxiang, who has been with him for a long time, will not frame Naruto. Naruto resisted the fear in his heart. He clenched his tiny fist, gritted his teeth, and walked forward.
At every step, the sound of water echoed. The black water rippled in circles.
Naruto walked very slowly. Who knows how long he had walked?
He finally saw a bright spot ahead.
He looked overjoyed and then started to walk towards the bright place.
Step by step on the black water.
Water splashed all over him.
Because of his short stature and being blocked by black water, he fell several times in a row during the run, making his body wet. But Naruto didn't give up because of it. Instead, he got more and more excited.
There was only one word silently in his mind.
Answer! Answer!
He must know the truth no matter what!
'Why does everyone hate me so much?'
'Why don't people want to be friends with me?'
'Also, Minato is my father?'
Naruto's pace gradually slowed down, not because he was tired, but because in his field of view, he began to see the outline of the bright spot ahead.
It was a very large iron cage.
Inside the iron cage, there seemed to be a very large 'creature' held imprisoned.
He cautiously came closer.
Naruto's footsteps finally stopped. He didn't dare move forward.
Naruto was suddenly frightened and fell into the black water pool.
"What's wrong? Aren't you wondering why everyone calls you Demon Fox? That's because you really are a demon fox. The monster in front of you is the demon fox that has been sealed in your body!" Li Yaoxiang's words kept circling in Naruto's mind.
His face was scared, so pale. He looked at the scene in front of him incredulously.
'It's over...'
Although it was still unclear whether the Fourth-Hokage, Namikaze Minato, was his father, the scene in front of him was enough to make him feel broken and desperate
After all, it turns out that everyone is right. He is really a monster! There really is a demon fox in him!
So does that mean he can't make friends?
That's right. Until the end, Naruto's first reaction after seeing Kyuubi(Nine-Tails) was that he was concerned about whether he could make friends or not. His carefree personality made him even ignore the Kyuubi within his own body and forgot his past.
Whether Namikaze Minato was his father or not, it was still a matter of doubt.
"Go ahead. The answer you want is right there."
Naruto swallowed his saliva and stood up again. He did not refuse Li Yaoxiang's temptation to continue to move forward.
Although he had walked very carefully and tried not to make any noise, the ripples on the water still woke up the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that had been sleeping for a long time.
.....
When Kyuubi opened his eyes and saw Naruto, who was only 3 years old, the violent anger Naruto had imagined did not appear. Instead, it showed a delighted expression.
Although imprisoned in this sealed space, Kyuubi still knew what was happening outside.
It knew Naruto's growth process. It was apparent how eager this child in front of him was to make friends!
Its prone body immediately came to spirit: "Boy! How did you get here?"
The thick voice of Kyuubi scared Naruto again. He also didn't expect the big fox could even speak: "I I I don't know I suddenly came here..." Naruto stammered. He began to say what Li Yaoxiang had taught him.
Kyuubi didn't think too much and began to tempt him: "Boy, you really want to make friends? Come here and help the old man tear off the seal in front of the cage! If you tear off the seal, this old man will become your friend!"
Not only was Kyuubi tempting Naruto, but even Li Yaoxiang also encouraged him.
"Do it. Go tear it."
But Naruto still hesitated.
In Naruto's mind, he communicated with Li Yaoxiang: "I I Can I not tear it? Is he the same as the demon fox everyone said? If I pull it, will this big fox run out of the cage and hurt everyone? I... I don't want to know the answer. If it hurts everyone, I don't want to know the truth. "
"It's okay. Trust me. He can't come out and hurt everyone."
Naruto struggled for a long time and finally chose to follow Li Yaoxiang's instructions and walked towards the seal on the iron cage.
Kyuubi's eyes straightened, full of expectation. The oppressive aura in his body became even more dignified. But to avoid affecting Naruto's actions, it tried to suppress it.
Naruto raised his head to look at the huge Kyuubi that looked like a hill and was really shocked.
"Boy! Tear it quickly."
Naruto, who came back to his senses, looked at the top of his head. There was a nearly 2 meter high 'Sealing Tag Curse'.
He didn't hesitate anymore.
He began to climb up. He clamped the iron with both hands and both knees.
He slowly climbed up
